SEINFELD star Michael Richards has opened up about his battle with prostate cancer that almost ended his life.
The actor shared his diagnosis in an interview with People, revealing that everything changed for him six years ago.
“I thought. Well, this is my time. I’m ready to go,” Michael, 74, told the outlet about receiving the news.
“But then my son came to mind a few seconds later and I heard myself saying, ‘I have a 9-year-old son and I wish I was around to support him. Is there any way I can get a little more life going on?’ the TV star confessed.
He also shared that he underwent surgery to remove his entire prostate following a concerning biopsy.
“It had to be contained quickly,” Michael explained. “I had to have full surgery. If I hadn’t done that, I probably would have been dead in about eight months.”
